VBS, B-days, & Father's Day!

What a great weekend! Joshua and I started out our weekend by attending our Vacation Bible School program on Friday night. Our church (FB Concord) doesn't joke around when it comes to VBS...they go ALL OUT. Mandy and I were on the make-up crew and my mother-in-law was one of the drama directors, so it was so fun seeing everything come together. The program was AWESOME and over 200 kids were saved!!


The stage/set of VBS!


Look at ALL those kids. :)


After the program me, Joshua, Memaw, Pepaw, Sally & Pappy headed off to a nice (but late) dinner @ The Chop House. Pappy's B-day was on Saturday, so we got a little pre-b-day celebrating in as well. We had a great time!!


Thanks to the b-day boy who graciously shared his dessert. :)

Me & Joshua's ADORABLE Memaw...I love her to death!


Saturday night our family met for a LATE dinner again, but this time to celebrate Father's Day. Phillip had to preach downtown Sunday after church, so since their side couldn't be with us, we wanted to make sure we were able to celebrate together. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful Father-in-law. He is truly one of the most love-able people I know. Thank you, Pappy for all you do for us and for loving us the way you do. You are a wonderful example of what a godly husband and father should be. Happy B-day & Father's Day!



Now....to the #2 man in my life...MY WONDERFUL DAD. I can't even express the love I have in my heart for my dad. I can honestly tear up just talking about him. He has always been such a rock in my life and no matter what, he has always believed in me and made me feel SO loved and special. I hated that we couldn't be together on Father's Day, but we did manage to get a good phone call in and I was so happy to hear he was having a great day with his dad! I wrote a blurb about my dad on my blog for his b-day and it fits so well, that I am posting it again.....

You & I share such a special relationship and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. You have always made me feel so important, so loved, and so precious. You have always listened to my intermost thoughts/feelings and everything that was important to me, was always important to you because no matter what, my happiness meant the world to you. You'll NEVER know what having a dad like that has meant in my life. I appreciate your wisdom, your advice, your encouragement, your trust, but most importantly, I appreciate the Godly example you've been to me over the years. How does a girl get so lucky to have a dad like that? :) I love you more than words can say and I'm so grateful for you. Happy Father's Day dad, I love you!
